Assembly and superior performance of palladium nano-catalysts anchored to a magnetic konjac glucomannan-graphene oxide hybrid for H2 generation from ammonia borane

As important multifunctional materials, the organic-inorganic hybrids are expected to be widely used in many fields, such as biosensor, solar cell and heterogeneous catalysis. In this article, we assemble a magnetic hybrid consisting of konjac glucomannan (KGM), graphene oxide (GO) and ferroferric oxide (Fe3O4) via a co-precipitation method to anchor palladium nanoparticles. The resultant Pd/KGM-GO-Fe3O4 catalysts exhibit superior catalytic...
